Brain Killer for Nov. 28, 2011 — Warning: Very Sneaky Tricky

Here’s Brain Teaser #9 from Freaky Dude Books. (Yeah, we actually were able to count up how many we’ve given you so far.)

Name three days of the week in a row without using Monday, Thursday, or Saturday. And no, you cannot use dates (such as November 28th, 29th, and 30th), though that would be incredibly clever of you to come up with that answer. Well, not if you’d just read it here, but you know what we mean.)

And, oh yeah, you can’t say, “Tuesday, Tuesday, Tuesday.” That’s not three days of the week, bobo. That’s one day of the week three times. Nice try though. You’d make a good tax accountant.

Certain Death Brain Teaser – November 14, 2011

Yes, this newest IQ challenge is certain death because that’s what you’re trying to avoid. See, you’ve been captured by some very bad (and mean) people. (Don’t ask how; the details would sicken you.) They make you choose between entering three rooms. If you can stay in that room for three minutes, they’ll set you free. (Again, don’t ask unnecessary questions, like “Why kind of idiots play games like this?” Let’s just say they have their own unusual ways of having fun and leave it at that, okay?) Anyway, here are the choices they give you:
Room #1 has five guys with automatic weapons who have been ordered to shoot you with enough holes to make you look like a colander.
Room #2 has a raging fire that fills the room.
Room #3 has four lions who haven’t eaten in two months.
Which room should you choose?

Is that your final answer?
‘Cause if you’re wrong, it sure will be.

Newest Brain Riddler – November 10, 2011

This little gem is called “Two Coins.” It seems so hard, but it is SO EASY!!

I have exactly two coins in my hand which total 30 cents in value. One is not a nickel. What are the two coins?

This one is beyond simple. Surely you have it by now. After all, it’s only two coins and they add up to 30 cents. And one is not a nickel.

You probably don’t need to, but check your answer here.

Newest Brain Bonger – November 8, 2011

We like to call this brain teaser “The Man in Danger.”

A man leaves home as fast as he can. He runs a little ways, then stands around for a minute or two. But then he hears a blast and he races off again, makes a left, goes a little ways, makes another sharp left and he heads back home again at full speed. But he pulls up suddenly when he sees two men with masks waiting for him just ahead. He knows he’s in trouble now.

What’s really going on in this situation?

C’mon, we’re waiting. One… two… three… three and a half…

See, we warned you it was a real Brain Bonger. But don’t get down on yourself. This was no ordinary puzzle. None of us could figure this one out either. So we’ll be nice and give you the answer if you click here.
